This week on Projekt Possible we sat down with two of the best female weightlifters the U.S. has ever seen, Jessica Lucero and her coach Aimee Everett. Aimee shares how being raised and coached by Mike Burgener set her up for success in lifting, business, and even love. Jess tells us about her new goals now that the 2016 Olympics are out of the question. If you're struggling with the mental part of weightlifting, Jess and Aimee have advice for you. If there's jealousy amongst athletes in your gym this dream team explains how they create a perfect environment for progress.Jessica and Aimee can both snatch around 200 lbs, clean and jerk around 250 lbs, and squat around 360 lbs, and when girls have numbers like that, you probably want to sit down, ask great questions, and listen - and that's exactly what we did.

Brendon and Brittney share their own ideas and the opinions of listeners on questions like, "Should a strong woman still ask for help opening the pickle jar?" "Is it more likely that a relationship will be successful between a girl who doesn't lift, and a guy who lifts, or the other way around?" and, "Should a coach date an athlete, and how do you coach your significant other without being over-bearing?" As usual, this show is full of that perfect Projekt Possible mix of laughs, intensity, and authenticity. Tune in now and comment with your ideas so we can continue the conversation - this one just might require a part two!Thanks to our listeners who offered their two-cents about dating and lifting!

If you have yet to hear the unfortunate news, we lost a big part of our community last Monday. Chris Moore passed away suddenly on Monday June 6th at his new home in Amsterdam. For some of you he was a large reason why you decided to dive into CrossFit or strength sports from his words on the Barbell Shrugged Podcast, his own podcast; Barbell Buddha, and his books that he wrote. He was an extraordinary individual and his words shall be lessons to many in the future as he leaves behind a legacy with all the amazing work he did before he left. We had the chance to chat with him and Mike Bledsoe on episodes 20 and 21, the episode will serve as a tribute to Chris combining both for you to listen to. Thanks again as always for listening everyone, if you'd like to make a donation to his family you can do so by CLICKING HERE.
